Re: APR scores

The fact that Texas can get a perfect score, while having no one on the team even sniff graduation is a farce. And Kansas actually came out and said that their APR won't drop for Shelby because he is finishing his coursework away from campus. That is absolute BS. I am sure Godfrey will hurt ours though. What a sham.

If KU ball players can complete course work without ever attending class while on campus, why would you think they can't when they leave Lawrence?

Re: APR scores

The APR is calculated by allocating points for eligibility and retention -- the two factors that research identifies as the best indicators of graduation. Each player on a given roster earns a maximum of two points per term, one for being academically eligible and one for staying with the institution. A team's APR is the total points of a team's roster at a given time divided by the total points possible. Since this results in a decimal number, the CAP decided to multiply it by 1,000 for ease of reference. Thus, a raw APR score of .925 translates into the 925 that will become the standard terminology.[1]

It looks like it only has to do with players being academically eligible and remaining at the institution. So I guess transfers directly effect the rate instead of indirectly through not graduating.
